And that’s putting it mildly.

When I first saw the image of Michael Moore cast in the image of the Che-christ, my first thought was that it was a criticism of Moore, not a celebration.

I’ve got a 19″ monitor sitting here doing nothing. Its a 5 year old Hitachi Superscan Elite 751. It supports high resolutions and refresh rates. It still looks good. The one caveat is that from time to time it gives a little pop and the picture disappers briefly, so I expect its lifespan is limited. How limited is different question. It’s been about 12 months since it started doing the popping thing and it doesn’t seem to be getting any more frequent.

So, if you want it for your own household or business and I know you, e-mail me.

My posts are too damn long.

So, the news from Iraq sure doesn’t sound any better that it was a week ago. The death rate of American’s looks on track to rise for another sequential month since the hand-off of power.

Meanwhile, Bush continues with his rosey lies, or “optimism” as Republican spin doctors prefer to call it. It’s this sort of lying optimism that lay behind Bush’s announcement a few weeks back that they’d be reducing the number of troops stationed abroad in places like Europe. Much was made of how this would make lives easier for Military families, since they’d be less likely to be posted abroad, and would instead remain near their families and friends.

It sounded great, the way he talked about it, and it would be great, during peacetime. We aren’t in peacetime though. The worry for military families isn’t whether they might all have to spend a few years in germany. The worry is whether both mom and dad will be called up from the reserves, or, in many cases, whether, having been called up, they’ll be coming back alive any time soon.

My guess is that after the election, if Bush is elected, he’ll quietly put the rest of the plan into effect and draw on the troop reductions in europe to beef up or relieve the forces in Iraq.
